Commercials during the Super Bowl have become almost as famous as the big game itself and this year one of the favorites is dropping out.

Volkswagen will not run a commercial during the 2015 Super Bowl, the company has confirmed. VW has advertised in four consecutive Super Bowls and gained particular acclaim for its 2011 spot titled “The Force.”

“Volkswagen is a great fan of the Super Bowl, and it has been a strong platform for our brand and our campaigns,” a spokeswoman told Automotive News. “However, for 2015 we have opted not to participate due to other priorities and initiatives.”

Volkswagen is not alone this year either. Lincoln and Jaguar, both of which ran commercials in last year’s game, have decided to opt out of 2015’s big game. According to NBC, so far automakers have bought half the amount of spots they did in 2012, the last time the network aired the game.

Volkswagen has released a teaser for its upcoming Super Bowl commercial that promises to poke fun at the seriousness of its German engineers.

As the German automaker puts it, “The precision of German engineering makes great cars. Why not great commercials?” It looks like Volkswagen will be packing a bit of everything in this year’s Super Bowl ad, which stars Carmen Electra. The German engineer seen in the teaser believes he’s come up with an algorithm for “the ultimate commercial for your big American football festival.”

The ad will have babies, puppies, Wang Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” and more. There’s even a man sporting an Abraham Lincoln costume. This year’s Super Bowl will kick off on Sunday, February 2, but expect the Super Bowl ads to start appear well in advance of kickoff.

With the Super Bowl around the corner, we expect plenty of commercials to be revealed ahead of the big game, and Volkswagen is jumping on the bandwagon showing off its new spot called “Get Happy.”

Entering its fourth straight year advertising in the Super Bowl, the German automaker’s ad stars a gentleman who brightens up his mundane office with a positive attitude and Jamaican accent.

For those that have been stuck working in an office environment filled with cubicles, you can probably relate to the people in the ad. It seems like a new-generation Beetle fixes the case of the Mondays.

As Super Bowl commercials go, Volkswagen has had some entertaining spots over the last two years, and today the German brand released its latest commercial that will air at the upcoming 2013 Super Bowl.

Focusing not on one particular model, the Volkswagen commercial tries to instill happy feelings in everyone who watches it. Volkswagen managed to gather together a group of individuals who made themselves famous on YouTube for being particularly sad or angry, and tries to cheer them up by having reggae great Jimmy Cliff sing to them.

VW dropped its Star Wars theme this year, which it has used for the last two Super Bowls.

The caption under the video reads, “In this pre-game release video Volkswagen and reggae legend Jimmy Cliff join together to infuse much-needed positivity and good vibes into a world that’s become awash with freak-outs, meltdowns, and temper tantrums over just about anything.”
